Elizabeth E. Hood is a plant geneticist and the Lipscomb Distinguished Professor of Agriculture at Arkansas State University.[1] In 2018, she was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[2]
Education and career
[edit]Elizabeth Hood was born in 1952.[3] She attended the University of Oklahoma earning a BA in sociology in 1974. In her masters she switched to botany, studying the biochemistry of a cyanobacteria (Anabaena variabilis).[3] After completing her masters, she moved to Washington University in St. Louis, where she studied the natural plant genetic engineering capabilities of Agrobacterium tumefaciens as a PhD student, and studied with Mary-Dell Chilton and Robert Fraley.
From 1988 to 1994, she was an assistant professor of biology at Utah State University. After that, she worked at Pioneer Hi-Bred, and later at ProdiGene. In 2003, she became a program manager at the National Science Foundation.[4] In 2004, she was hired at Arkansas State University.[1] In 2008, she was appointed the Lipscomb Distinguished Professor of Agriculture.[5]
Research
[edit]During her time at Washington University in St. Louis, Elizabeth Hood created the Agrobacterium strain EHA101, which is widely used in plant transformation.[6][7] Her research at Arkansas State University focuses on using plants as factories to produce large quantities of enzymes[8] and studying how plants construct cell walls.[9] She is the Arkansas representative for the Genomes to Fields public-private consortium working to enable to accurate phenotypic prediction in corn/maize across the different environments found in thirty different US states.[10]
